Mechanical Engineering Paid Consultant - Energy-Efficient Systems, Sizing, Commissioning & Sustainability

We are seeking experienced Mechanical Energy and Sustainability Engineers (Energy Engineers, HVAC Engineers, or Building Systems Engineers) to provide expert insight as part of a project for our AI Marketplace. No preparation required - just your real-world experience.

This is a one-time, paid, project-based interview engaged on a contract basis - not a full-time role.

Location: U.S.-based experts only Engagement: One-time, project-based interview Work Type: Remote Estimated rate: $105/hr (prorated for the 45-minute task)

What You'll Do You'll complete a ~45-minute recorded AI-led video interview where you explain how you actually do your work in practice.

This interview will focus on:

• How you design integrated energy-efficient mechanical systems and calculate design loads
• How you analyze energy losses, size improvement options, and select equipment
• How you evaluate environmental impact and recommend carbon-reduction measures
• How you direct installation, verify controls, commission systems, and complete the handoff

You will be asked to explain workflows specifically within: baseline assessment, load and loss calculations, system design, equipment selection, environmental evaluation, installation, commissioning, and performance recommendations.

You should only apply if you can confidently walk through these areas step-by-step based on your own experience and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in energy-efficient mechanical, HVAC, renewable, and water systems
• Direct, hands-on experience in baseline assessment, load and loss calculations, system design, equipment selection, environmental evaluation, installation, commissioning, and performance recommendations
• Experience making or influencing decisions related to design loads, efficiency targets, equipment sizing, lifecycle tradeoffs, environmental impact, commissioning acceptance, and utility-service recommendations
• Familiarity with tools such as: energy-modeling and load-calculation software, CAD or BIM, building automation systems, commissioning tools, spreadsheets, utility-data platforms, and project-management systems
• Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
• Experience owning or directly executing these workflows in a real production environment
• Experience working in a relevant cross-functional environment

About the Interview The interview is designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.

This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing a recorded AI-led video interview; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interview, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.

Once you complete the interview, we'll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
